games promised more high drama the first game of the day they go on for the three lines as england take on sweden and the winner of that match will face either russia or croatia who come toto deceiving is the first time in thirty two years that russia has got this far in the tournament and russia knocking out spain as you know was one of the big upsets so for them to go even further would be absolutely incredible so what more can we expect well more tears more cheers most likely more big. russian croatia reach the quarter final off the winning dramatic penalty shootout croatia are one of the tournament favorites but russia are riding high on the new found wave of confidence after their win against spain team russia in the quarterfinals performing something just short of a miracle giving the fight to the mighty spain and eventually knocking it right out

of the tournament that night russian fans rule. a little gold became a thing after the choose saved by the russian goalkeeper eagerly can feel even the final penalty shootout if you can fave himself already a story here at home became an even bigger internet celebrity at the time. drawing attention of course russia's michael but he took the spotlight not only with these managing decisions and he's managing start button. also with his

emotions or rather the lack of them i should say a hint of a smile and a reservedly pulled fists in triumph this is a pool that he allowed himself on the pitch. churches of some astonished have become known here in russia has them a stash of hope another symbol for russian fans he's russia's traditional headwear caution so here in central moscow in the hearts of the football fever i decided to familiarize fans of other national teams with these features of the russian fan culture. to know that russia's traditional elements of headwear. as in the. winter happen well. with the bald guy a bald guy i have no idea i have no idea if. that's

the trick to stop the fuck up i have this. you know what it is. it's this really yeah. exactly this isn't done for girls it's called cautioning bush yes question it right on have you ever wanted to become a russian. it was mine. just look so am i let's do this you you can kind of hold it till all the shit you and others know but yeah you know different. about this goes. here i'll be a little bit really really ready. for. kate selby time now so yeah yeah perfect like a natural you look like a natural here have something to chew something out yeah we have something else you know the russian chick called i don't know. he says name but i know him by his face

he's a nice person a good friend we are constantly in touch. and church airsoft are almost the same age i think they're both dark horses and neither of them has been on the national team before russia's victory was unexpected but croatia's victories are predictable croatia always play well. the russian national team is hard to predict for everyone for me personally they're unpredictable if we win it'll be good i'll be able to call dullish the next day and say we got you if they win and he calls me i think i won't pick up the phone. now russian football fans are crossing my fingers for their team but they're ready to do more than just us to ensure victory.
